Federal Tourism Directory

This directory strengthens our federal voice on tourism and is a direct result of a unique partnership between Southeast Tourism Society and its federal partners with dedicated tourism programs.

Designed to map the federal government’s tourism programs and help educate policymakers, this informative tool is distributed to Members of Congress and key policymakers. It provides an overview of each agency’s tourism programs as well as a list of key staff contacts for use by Members of Congress and community leaders.

Our goal is to enhance public policy and legislation to promote tourism growth, advance travel and tourism as driving forces for economic growth, and job creation - a vital partner for preserving the culture and history of the Southeast and showcase the exceptional travel experiences of the region.

You’ll find more about tourism advocacy in our Advocacy Resource Center
